I thought that the PDP-8 had long ago disapeared. I used to own a PDP-8e with a dual DEC-Tape drive, OS-8, Fortran II compiler, FOCAL, and assembler. I gave the system to a computer museum in Westminster Mass about 6 years ago. I still have the IBM programming card for the PDP-8, sort of scary.

Still have an 8a manual and programming cards. ASR33 I/O w/ paper tape --! 10 char/sec printout. Them were the good 'ol days! All day to get a 4k 12 bit program running -- if all went well. You prayed the paper tape wouldn't miss a punch on the 3 pass read. -- Art Hurst Email: ahhurst@mmm.com 3M Company Phone: (805)388-4170 Digital Storage Products Division FAX: (805)388-4804 Camarillo CA 93012
